Royal Knights
The Royal Knights are the elite guardsmen of the king and the royal family. However, they are also much more than that. While they are tasked with patrolling the castle and protecting the king from harm, they are also tasked with rooting out plots against the kingdom before it has a chance to become a problem. The Royal Knights act as elite agents for the king, often being trained in subterfuge and espionage as well as combat.
The Royal Knights are elite soldiers, and some of the best warriors in the entire world. To be a Royal Knight is a great honor, as applying to be a member is not allowed. The king and the captain of the Royal Knights select a few of the best soldiers every couple of years to invite to join. Every Royal Knight is knighted by the king, but not everyone knighted by the king is a Royal Knight.
The Royal Knights are generally captained by the heir to the throne before they assume the throne. When the heir to the throne assumes the throne, if they have no heir themselves that is of age, they pick one of their best Royal Knights to assume the position temporarily. Currently, Kellan Kensley is the captain of the Royal Knights
